9 Steps to Get to the Top
Recommend this to everyone ~ it will help motivate you to reach your goals.

The premise is simple: We all hold the keys to our own success, and we deserve it. It is not accidental but deliberate and takes hard work.

1) Success starts with self-image because you are the only one who can make that possible. Before you convince anyone else, you have to convince yourself.

2) Successful people are ¡°Good Finders¡±; they look for the good in other people. ¡°You can have anything in your life, if you help others get what they want¡±. (page 57)

3) No goals = no game. Activity is not accomplishment. Don¡¯t be a wandering generality. Goals should be big, long range, daily and specific.

4) Unlimited possibilities. Records were meant to be broken. Until Roger Bannister ran the four-minute mile, most thought it was physically impossible. After his achievement, people broke the record constantly.

5) Work as a team. There is a limit to what you can accomplish by yourself. Example: Geese fly 72% farther by flying together.

6) Attitude is everything. It determines the outcome. While you cannot control the environment, you (and only you) can control your attitude. The pessimist says. ¡°I will believe it when I see it.¡± The optimist says, ¡°I will see it when I believe it.¡± (page 206)

7) Create good habits because habits define our lives. Example: The average teenage student watches 17,000 hours of television before they graduate high school.

8) Successful people enjoy their work.

9) Keep going. "The price of success is less than the price of failure". (page 33)

A practical book suitable for everyone
I really like this book because I learnt a lot from this book. Although this book is about philosophy, but only a little theory involved. The concept of this book is easy to understand. The main theme of this book is the six steps to the top. Here is the summary of the book:

Step 1 Self-image: If you have a positive image, you can do everything well.
Step 2 Your relationship with others: The way you see them is the way you treat them. So, you better find the ¡§good¡¨ in other people and in every situation.
Step 3 Goals: Everyone should have at least one goal. The goal should be fulfilled four requirements: i.Big Goals, ii. Goals must be Long-range, iii. Goals must be daily, iv.Goals must be specific.
Step 4 Attitude: A right mental attitude helps you to build a positive life attitude.
Step 5 Work: Most successful people are really enjoyed their job.
Step 6 Desire: People have their own desire will became more successful.

These 6 steps are really useful in our daily life. The concepts of this book are practical and positive. It teaches us how to built a better future. After I read this book, I really feel more confident to my work. It was because this book teaches us that we should believe the concept of ¡§I CAN¡¨. Once you believe in yourself, you can do everything well.

The only bad point of this book is too much emphasis on religion. I am not fully understood some stories are about religion. Some sentences are even directly copied from the Bible. All in all, I do really like to read this book.
